The Sequence Planner provides line management an advanced view of the work required at each station based on a production schedule’s model-and-option mix. Forewarned of where and when the work required exceeds Takt, management can take action to keep production running smoothly.
The module takes the work distribution from a selected line balance and displays the workload for selected schedule. In this way, Sequence Planner helps you identify bottlenecks ahead of time, so that you can dispatch relief operators and avoid production delays.
